We recently updated one of our solutions from 8.1.0.0 to 8.3.0.2, and are having some problems with the news listing. There is quite complex categorization on the solution; some news items are placed in multiple categories, and some news paragraph modules get news items from multiple categories.
The way it used to work was that the news lists only showed 1 instance of a news item, regardless of how many categories it was placed in – and regardless of whether the news paragraph module listed items from more than one category or not.
The way it works now, after the update, is that the news paragraph module lists all the instances of the news item. So we get news lists with multiple instances of the same news item, see attached screenshot for frontend example and module settings.
It seems to me like the pre-update news modules were "smarter" than now. Knowing that it was obsolete to list an item more than once. I looked through the change notes for all the DW release versions up until 8.3.0.2, but I couldn't find anything relevant to this problem.
Is there something I'm overlooking, some kind of setting that got reset after the update? Is this something we can fix in the template files? Or are we just not using the News v2 module the way it is supposed to?
Thanks in advance!
best regards,
Joakim Tønnesen
